Natasha

There is a lot of color imagery in this poem, the first stanza especially. It mentions 6 different colors, all describing the lies. It’s about an African American girl that may tell little lies that don’t really mean much. She would lie about where she lived, and where she bought her clothes, but would also lie about being African American. Right below the poem is the history of Natasha Trethewey, and she was a girl that was just light enough to pass for white. It’s actually really sad the way she describes lying about her skin color. She writes, “I could even keep quiet, quiet as kept, like the time a white girl said (squeezing my hand), Now we have three of us in this class.” It’s sad because she’s not lying to act cool. When she writes “squeezing my hand,” I get a sense that she only lied because she liked the way the girl was acting like her friend. The first stanza does a really good job in describing that she is really light skinned for an African American. It says, “I was growing up/light-bright, near-white/high-yellow, red-boned/in a black place.” The words “light-bright” and “near-white” make me think of a very light color. I also get a double meaning with the color white. While white is connected throughout the poem to lies, at the end of the poem it is connected to soap that will purify someone. She writes, “She laid her hands on me,/then washed out my mouth/with Ivory soap. This/was to purify, she said,/and cleanse your lying tongue.” These few lines make me think that she’s trying to describe white as the right thing. She does this again in the second stanza when she says, “I could act like my homemade dresses come straight out of the window at Maison Blanche.” This phrase makes us think that dresses from the “White House” are better than others. I think the overall message of this little girl is that she used to think that white was better. Clothes were…...

Tainted History in Natasha Tretheway’s Native Guard
Passion, precision, and technique are all synonyms used to describe Natasha Tretheway’s Native Guard that take the reader through the heart of the south and the heart of the family. This essay will examine the contradictions of (African) American life, especially concerning themes of history and memory. “Southern History”, “Incident”, and “South” will demonstrate these contradictions of (African) American history and memory. Serving as a scribe, Tretheway writes these poems for those people history has muted and closed the veil on. Southern History, Incident, and South; poems from section two of her book, depict racism during slavery and the Civil War, which is a part of forgotten history in the eyes of “Americans.” These historic experiences have not been given the proper examination, discussion, or acknowledgement. Tretheway refuses to allow African American history to remain as footnotes and brings out the real “American” history in her collection of poems.
Tretheway’s personal experience growing up as a mulatto in the South is seen in her poem “Southern History”. This poem shows that even after more than a hundred years after the Civil War, history is still tainted. History is imperfect and at times intentionally false as textbooks in this time period were used to misinform students; keeping them bound and restricted from the real history of America. As Tretheway’s...

...word persona meaning mask (B. R Hergenhahn, 2007). Personality has been defined and explained in different ways by various persons hence several theories of personality exists, each highlighting different aspects of human nature that theorist is the most important determinants of one’s personality. Personality refers to those characteristics of a person that accounts for consistent patterns of feeling, thinking and behaving (Lawrence A. Pervin, 2005). Due to the multifaceted nature of human beings, no one paradigm or theory can be said to perfectly or correctly explain personality each may focus on particular aspects and neglect other aspects. All the theories however, agree one thing; that people differ from each other as is the case with Natasha and her brother Akeem.
This essay examines Natasha’s personality in light of Social Cognitive theory (STC) as posited by Albert Bandura and Walter Mischel, and the Existential theory of Carl Rogers.
Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) has its roots in learning theory emphasizing the social origins of behavior, and the importance of cognitive thought processes, in all aspects of human functioning (Pervin & John, 2001). SCT is founded on the thought that humans learn what they observe, whether it be from the consequences of our behaviors or that of others; via direct or vicarious reinforcement or punishment. (B. R Hergenhahn, 2007) The theory identifies human behavior as an interaction of personal factors, behavior, and the......

...Are Women Better Bosses?
In "Are Women Better Bosses," Mary Schnack writes, that “Survey shows that two thirds of all Americans would not mind working for a woman.” at the end of the day, she says that the vast majority of the Americans these days can continue with the thought that they are continuously bossed by a lady. Some way or another “Natasha Josefowitz, a professor of business administration at University of California,” was not dumbfounded by such phenomena. She was really expecting that, as her scientists demonstrated that “women are better managers than men”. My response to what I simply read is that, both journalists Mary Schnack and Natasha Josefowitz have mulls over that support their purpose of perspectives about ladies surpassing higher powers at our present time.
Notwithstanding that, Josefowitz expresses a few qualities, looking at between the aptitudes that men and ladies adjust in their prior lives. Case in point, men gain the “teamwork skills”, while ladies advance “social and technical skills”. I see that, Josefowitz is right about ordering the distinctive abilities in the middle of men and ladies. As it is exceptionally clear that ladies are more prone to talk more, while men are more prone to lead more.
Different specialists offered credit to ladies in light of the fact that; they are agreeable at the work environment than men do. For example, Josefowitz review demonstrated that “women were more likely than their male counterparts to encourage......

4.02 Judicial Review
The Honorable Patti A. Christensen
Today I will be interviewing Ms. Salaverez about her career of being a judge.
Natasha: How is your role in government different from an elected official?
Mrs.Patti: My role in the government can be different from those who are elected officials, I am there to overlook the case and see the evidence, I'm there to make sure that all facts that are stated are facts and that everything is fair. Judges exist to serve the people. Us Judges aren't elected on political party, the presidents appoints this person not people.
Natasha : Okay, I can understand that. The president elects who becomes the judge because your main role is to focus on the people. So how are elected officials and judges the same?
Ms.Patti, I would say elected officials and judges are the same because we all serve for the same purpose, for the people. At the end of the day we all just want equality in our community and to know that we did all we could do for the people.
Natasha: And we as the people do appreciate that. Which brings me another question: Do you feel that judges are under appreciated?
Mrs.Patti: I think we are appreciated, it's just I don't think the people of our country know how big of a role judges or political elected officials play in our country. But who's to blame? Things like that don't really concern people until election time and maybe not even......

A research work carried out by the centre for equity studies Delhi states that: -
The drawbacks of the centralised approach include lack of employment, increased risk of food spoilage, no community participation, and lack of transparency; hence a research will be done to determine
the effectiveness and viability of this approach and its comparison with the decentralized and handmade approach to food. (Natasha, 2010)

(Natasha)
The “Akashaya Patra” foundation is an example of the centralized approach where the meals are cooked at one place and are transported to schools,
The decentralized approach is where the schools funded by the government cook their own meals for the children such as the “Aanganwadi” centre.

...life, love — Natasha Rostova.
Natasha — the favourite heroine of Tolstoy. It submits the reader the sincerity, a spontaneity, cheerfulness, poetry, richness of an inner world. "The poetic, full of life, the charming girl" her Andrey Bolkonsky calls. For the first time we meet Natasha in the house Growth, she appears at us the thirteen-year-old girl, absolutely young, touching, direct. "Black-eyed, with a big mouth, the ugly, but living girl, with the children's open coat hanger … with the black curls which got off back, the thin bared hands and small legs in lacy pantalonchik and open shoes, was at that lovely age, when the girl not the child, but the child not the girl yet any more". We see how Natasha matures, goes to the first ball, endures the first love. This heroine is very direct, close to the nature. She admires beauty of a moonlight night in Otradnoye, is very organic in a hunting scene.
Natasha is very musical, romantic. She perfectly sings, is thin feels music, Denisov admires her singing. And dancing of Natasha in which all reveals her Russian soul?

...daffodil represents the life that Trethewey and her mother has had to endure. Although the daffodil is only mentioned in one poem, many poems throughout Native Guard illustrate how the life of the daffodil is directly related and compared to Natasha Trethewey and her mother. The order in which the poems are mentioned is also significant; they demonstrate the progression stages of the two lives mentioned and the devastation that is brought when a life is lost.
At the beginning of the book in the poem “Genus Narcissus” the daffodil is being compared to Trethewey as a child, because they are both in the beginning stages of life. Comparable to the flower Trethewey would be considered a new bloom sprouting in the early spring. “The road I walked home from school was dense with trees and shadows, creek-side, and lit by yellow daffodils, early blossom” (1-3).They are both innocent beings beginning life and Natasha is awaiting the chance to endure the happiness that life has to bring. Both Natasha and the flowers are considered gifts to her mother, therefore she sees herself as being one with the flower, “Childish vanity. I must have seen in them some measure of myself- the slender stems, each blossom a head lifted up” (13-15). Being a young child Natasha did not know that the flowers given to her mother as a small gift would one day represent the bruises and sudden death her mother would quickly endure.
The transition has now begun, the daffodils are starting to wither and......

Lastly Narayan head of South Asia marketing was willing to give it a shot due to the growth in India that was mentioned with sightings of Espoir products in smaller retail stores. The success of a Global launch is going to heavily factored in by the commitment and willingness of the regional marketing heads if it has a chance to succeed everyone will be required to be on the same page and comply with Natasha and her team.
Each region is unique in its own way. Eastern European culture is a lot different than Southern Asian culture as Mazur pointed out what works in India might not work in Eastern Europe, him being the regional marketing head there he would know what works best in said market. Cosmetic Differences will play a big factor in the struggle of a global campaign as well as Narayan mentioned the younger girls will want to be “with it” as far as the latest colors and trends. As well as the idea of the campaign catching on to some areas but not reaching across the entire region, as Narayan pointed out to Natasha she’s lived in the U.S. for over a year yet she is drinking tea instead of coffee overcoming cultural differences is going to be challenging. Analyzing all the major factors from the report the root of the problem is both the cultural differences between all three regions as well as the lack of cooperation on Mazur’s end.

...more than twenty, is married to Kuligan, a teacher of far more years who has not lived up to the stature her school-girl mind had given him. For her there is no hope of Moscow; she only whistles softly to herself as her sisters make their plans. Irina, at twenty, dreams of finding happiness and love in Moscow. A brother, Andrey, a scholar, is in love with Natasha, twenty-eight, an overdressed villager who affects shyness and humility; his sisters find it hard to believe that he will marry her.
On Irina's birthday, the callers include Chebutikin, sixty, an army doctor who once loved the sisters' mother; Baron Tuzenbach, thirty, a lieutenant in love with Irina; brooding Captain Soleni, and a newcomer, Vershinin, forty-two, commander of the post. Vershinin has two daughters and a second wife who frequently threatens suicide to annoy him. A birthday cake is sent by Protopopov, head of the District Council. The sisters hope Protopopov will marry Natasha, but Andrey proposes to her and she accepts him.
With the marriage of Natasha and Andrey and the birth of a child, Bobby, the lot of the sisters becomes even more unhappy. Natasha, dropping her humility, dominates the sisters, her husband and the servants. She takes the room of Irina, who now works at the telegraph office, for the child; Irina must share Olga's room.
Vershinin, whose wife is endlessly quarrelsome, and the unhappy Masha, bored by her husband and his colleagues, are drawn together. One day Vershinin tells her of......
